Overview

• The world premiere at Venice’s Sala Grande drew a standing ovation of nearly seven minutes for the English‑language remake of Save the Green Planet!
• Focus Features released the full trailer, which features Emma Stone’s shaved‑head look and Chappell Roan’s “Good Luck, Babe!” on the soundtrack.
• The film follows two conspiracy‑fixated men who abduct a pharmaceutical CEO they believe is an alien, blending dark comedy, sci‑fi and social satire.
• Lanthimos said the story reflects current realities rather than a distant dystopia, warning of a near‑term reckoning tied to technology, wars and climate change.
• Critics at Venice report largely positive reactions with strong notices for Stone and Jesse Plemons, as Focus targets an Oct. 24 limited opening before a wide Oct. 31 rollout.
